Inspiring healthy & happy living
BallyCara’s Village of Friends is a retirement community that can deliver a much needed safe and supportive environment during these unprecedented times. Our range of villas and apartments in Scarborough have strict health and safety measures in place and tour times are by appointment only to ensure your health and wellbeing is our top priority.
BallyCara Retirement Village is a unique retirement living community beautifully positioned by the waters of Moreton Bay at Scarborough on the Redcliffe Peninsula. This location offers Residents and their families a serene setting to enjoy together. Adding to the geographical location is the fact that the Village and surrounding areas are completely flat, ensuring a perfect opportunity for leisurely strolls without the obstacle of hills and slopes.
As well as being a picturesque seaside destination, the Redcliffe Peninsula offers its community every convenience needed – health services, entertainment, shopping, transport – without hassles like traffic congestion. BallyCara’s location at Oyster Point Esplanade makes any desirable service or amenity accessible to you, irrespective of your mode of transport. The Village is in close proximity to hospitals and medical facilities (both public and private) as well as large shopping centres. Very pleasurable dining experiences are available through nearby restaurants and cafes, plus many licensed clubs and hotels.
Above all, the Village of Friends is a way of life that makes BallyCara distinct from other retirement or resort communities in Brisbane and beyond. It is the enjoyment and harbouring of a unique spirit among Residents and also staff that enhances the lifestyle of each individual. We hope BallyCara is at the top of your list!

We have created a beautiful environment at BallyCara by adhering to two key design principles:
The first principle is to enhance the environment through attractive landscaping and innovative features so that you and your visitors will enjoy spending time in and around the Village.
The second principle applied is to ensure a feeling of space throughout BallyCara. We have deliberately designed the layout of the Village to exude a sense of space and our entire Village is set on completely flat ground making it perfectly suited to morning and afternoon strolls through the 13 hectare site – or walks along the adjacent waterfront esplanade.
BallyCara’s unique location and environment combined with a vast range of recreational facilities offers you a lifestyle to suit your personal preferences.
What’s more, as a Resident at BallyCara, you’ll enjoy total access to our Wellness Centre and various activities and social events including bus trips, shopping bus outings, river and bay cruises, fishing trips, and a full suite of support services designed to help you age in place within any one of our accommodation types.
